### 1/5 — No Longer Active!!

*2026-06-10, version 1.1.79*

This app is no longer active after searching for an app that I can use as a tool to locate black owned businesses in my area, The Official Black App is at the top of the list. I read through the description of the app. It has an excellent rating, 4.7 so from there I proceed to download the app when I open the app after paying $.99, it has a message. This app is no longer active. The screen freezes on this page as there is no way to X out or cancel. If it’s in active, why are you still able to collect the $.99?
